Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "bah" (as in "bar") + "keh" (as in "kept") + "TOHN" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

A shameless, irresponsible person who avoids their obligations without caring what anyone thinks. In Mexico, a 'vaquetón' is someone who owes everyone, never shows up when they should, and somehow always has an excuse ready, and never feels bad about any of it.

Examples

That deadbeat never pays what he owes.

What a shameless person, they called his job and he still didn't move.

Descarado

A Venezuelan exclamation of anger, surprise, or extreme frustration that sounds harsh but gets used constantly in everyday conversation. It's one of those swear phrases said so often it's lost half its punch.
